Reconocer el Estado palestino
May 23, 2024

  • The Government of Spain, along with Ireland and Norway, will announce the official recognition of the Palestinian state.
  • This is a historic measure taken in accordance to United Nations resolutions.
  • The decision is controversial, provoking the withdrawal of Israeli ambassadors and accusing these countries of supporting Hamas.
  • The Spanish Government has condemned the Hamas militia and has been calling for a ceasefire.
  • Concern about the violation of human rights has pushed these countries to take this decision.
  • The prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has requested arrest warrants against Israeli and Hamas leaders for human rights violations.

Conclusion: This decision reinforces international support for the recognition of the Palestinian State and suggests a shift in consciousness towards the violation of human rights in the conflict.
